When computers took charge of the planet and everything on it (to save it from human irresponsibility), an insightful subroutine realized that people wouldn’t simply roll over and play dead; they needed immersive playthings to keep them busy. Enclosures, if not of body, then of mind.
The first VR headsets were a temporary fix: no better than the clumsy “state-of-the-art” things produced at the time. They, and the software used to power them, improved quickly. Test subjects described the new setup as “surreal” and “better than reality”.
Humanity willingly created individual digital kingdoms while relinquishing temporal control.
